Program Ad Fund Raiser

Our first fund raiser of the year is our Program Ad Sales. This fund raiser is designed to give local businesses an opportunity to support our band by purchasing an ad in our Spring Concert program. This program book will be professional printed and will also serve as a band yearbook with pictures of activities throughout the year. Students will earn credit for 75% of the cost of the ads they sell to be used for band expenses. This is a tax deductible contribution for anyone that purchases an ad.
